A marriage celebrant's role is to engage with you and create an individulised, unique personal ceremony to celebrate your special occasion. A ceremony that will always embrace loving memories since its inception.

A vital role of a celebrant is to provide advice, support and inspiration in creating a 'moment in time', a 'ceremony' to be forever cherished.

My background in training and experience involved professional guidance and referrals to young people and families confronting family breakdown, drug, alcohol, gambling addictions, lack of education and fundamental rights, homelessness. I had close contact with the justice system, courts, local councils, police and community groups.

I bring this experience as a valueable support to help others through the dynamics of sad and happy milestones and Rites of Passage.

I have always had a true sense of Spirituality and share a profound relationship with the world of spirit. I have experienced many religions and beliefs. I respect all traditions and customs, various ones I have adopted and include in my daily practices.

I lived in Sydney, Australia for 26 years and celebrate being back home in Blenheim 11 years. Whilst in Australia I earned the Centennial Medal from the Australian Government, and later the Order of Australia Medal for my contribution to young people and the community. My passion and empathy towards others reflects in my commitment to individuals, family and extended family during major transitions in life.

I love the uniqueness, the magic of each wedding I have had the honour to officiate in Marlborough, Queenstown, Christchurch and the Marlborough Sounds.

TIME CAPSULE
Today some couples like to create a time capsule or messages placed in a special box or a bottle before their wedding day.
Both parties write personal letters including their thoughts, dreams, goals and desires for their marriage.
They agree to open the bottle, box or capsule on a special day such as an anniversary or the birth of a child.
Adding wedding photos, messages written by their friends or wedding guests, tokens and special momentos, keeping their intentions energised and more exciting for the time ahead when they will reveal to each other what was sacred.

RING EXCHANGE
Mr Google can be very helpful if you are looking for declarations whilst giving rings.
I have various styles and options to help you with this very special moment.

MOMENTS IN TIME
I have seen so many beautiful wedding photos, simple but special.
Often couples rely on their friends and family to capture moments throughout the day rather than engage a professional.
Natural moments can create a magical album.

CHILDREN AND WEDDINGS
There is something quite special including children in a wedding ceremony. As a bride and groom commit to each other they also commit to the children in their lives to enrich and include them in a deeper relationship together.

It is an honour to take a quiet moment to remember loved ones who now dwell on the other side.
They will never miss a celebration especially a wedding.

Marlborough has so many places to celebrate and host weddings.
It is a priviledge to share new places and themes with so many couples.
I'm always amazed at the thoughts of both bride and groom that go into their special ceremony and celebrations.
